You can now track your golf game with Wear OS 4.

The "New in Health on Android" talk at Google I/O was one occasion where two of my passions intersected briefly, and I geeked out. There was a lot to digest and some exciting updates that will arrive with Wear OS 4. The whole talk can be viewed here if you wish. For now, we're talking about one feature in particular: golf shot tracking.

 

Golf, indeed. We've already mentioned that we're obsessed with golf. We enjoy playing golf, and our office has a reasonably impressive simulator setup. When our two favorite things, golf, and technology, merge, it is beautiful. On the course, we enjoy using golf-related mobile apps and are always considering how to incorporate ChromeOS into our simulator setup. We are all about golf technology, club technology, electronics, and even analog game improvement. So much so that we've even created a new website to explore the development of screen golf and on-course play as we experiment with contemporary and traditional golf tech and methodology. I invite you to go on that journey with us at  Proof Golf if you share our enthusiasm for the sport. Anyway, that was a shameless plug. Returning to Wear OS 4, let's discuss the golf-related update.

 

To allow compatible devices and apps to recognize the type of shot you're taking, Google and Samsung have teamed up. It will enable developers to create more potent apps to monitor your progress through the program. With the update, it will be possible to distinguish between putts, chips, and full swings. I don't anticipate this to contribute much right away, but in the future, Wear OS devices may be able to provide golfers with estimated distances while keeping track of their shot counts and types.

 

This update is one of many that Wear OS 4 will bring later this year, but it's one about which I am wildly enthusiastic. It's great that Google and Samsung are putting early emphasis on this because it indicates that users or developers want to make golf tracking a mainstay on Wear OS. Please keep checking back as we bring you more information about Google I/O 2023 and the upcoming Wear OS 4 update. It's time for me to start hitting some golf balls.

Google's AI initiatives will soon break what little human connection we still have at work.

    Image Credits:   Google Google I/O 2023 is over, and the company showed off some exciting new hardware and cool new features for Android devices. Still, most of the presentation was once dedicated to how Google built-in AI into its essential services, from Maps to G-mail to Docs to Photos. Even its essential Android gadget releases, the Google Pixel 7a, Google Pixel Tablet, and Google Pixel Fold, are not immune to AI integration's ever-increasing presence, such as AI-generated wallpapers and AI chat integration at your fingertips. For the name "BS." The premise of what Google and other organizations like Open AI have performed around AI is, at its core, irresponsible and unsafe to human fitness and protection in many respects—nothing an upbeat, completely happy presentation about it can do to erase this original sin. Human connection was fraying already . Being an elder millennial, I have a unique point of view on my youthful and Older generations. My childhood (I was...

Dongles for iPhone and iPad are broken by iOS and iPadOS updates.

Image
Apple released iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 late last week, which among other things, gave iPhone users more wallpaper choices and added a Sports tab to the Apple TV app. There is some bad news for those who have already installed the most recent versions of iOS and iPadOS on their devices. The updates render Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter dongle incompatible with iPhone and iPad models. The device has a USB-A port connecting devices to your phone or tablet and connects to an iPhone or iPad through the charging port. Additionally, the dongle has a Lightning port that can charge an iPhone or iPad while running an accessory. The iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 updates have resulted in incompatibility with both ports. Several users reported that their dongle stopped working after updating to iOS 16.5 on Reddit. A Redditor named Zahid, for instance, states, "I am having the same issue, only with my digital audio setup. My DAC (Schiit Modi+) worked fine with this adapter connecting...
